If not handled properly, EPS foam, PE foam, etc. can cause serious pollution to the environment. EPS Foam Crusher is specially designed for expanded polystyrene and can help many industries save and recycle plastic foam.

  • EPS: packing boxes, insulation materials.
  • Poliuretano: used in the production of seats, and cushions.
  • PPE: mainly used in automobile parts, and packaging materials.
  • EPE: insulation materials, packaging materials.
  • CLORURO DE POLIVINILO: manufacture of building materials, decorative materials, etc.
  • Other foams: different kinds of foams, such as PPO (polyphenylene ether), PIR (polyisocyanate), etc.

EPS foam after crushing

In the picture you can see waste EPS styrofoam has been crushed into compact pieces. The crushed EPS foam can be made into other products, and other plastic foam as well.

Beneficios de la trituradora de espuma horizontal.

Foam crushers are popular worldwide, especially in countries and regions that emphasize environmental protection and resource recycling. Our company’s machines have been shipped to many countries, such as Germany, the USA, India, Brazil, South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Mexico, Indonesia, Arabia Saudita, and so on. The machine offers the following significant advantages.

  • Adopting a quiet design, with low noise.
  • A large feed hopper makes feeding more convenient.
  • Reduce the dust generated in the finished milled product.
  • Low energy consumption, simple operation, low operating and maintenance costs.
  • Suitable for processing foam of different shapes and densities, with strong versatility.
  • Adopting removable blades, which can be disassembled and sharpened individually after the blades are dull.
  • El diseño horizontal permite ocupar menos espacio horizontalmente, lo que ayuda a la distribución en una planta o lugar de trabajo limitado.
  • El diseño horizontal ayuda a la distribución uniforme de materiales en la cámara de trituración, mejora la eficiencia de trituración y garantiza la uniformidad del producto terminado.

polystyrene crusher machine working principle

  1. Alimentación: styrofoam is dropped into the feed opening of the foam pulverizer.
  2. Corte y trituración: after entering the machine, the foam is cut and crushed by blades or knives. These blades usually rotate at high speeds and cut the foam into small particles. The blades are made of steel and are strong and durable.
  3. Poner en pantalla: the cut and pulverized foam particles are passed through a screen to separate the different-sized particles. This step helps to obtain a finished product of the desired particle size.
  4. Recopilación: the sieved and crushed foam particles are collected into appropriate containers. These particles can be further processed for manufacturing new foam products or other applications.
